Description

We present theoretical estimates of the expected ratios of yields of hypernuclei and antihypernuclei in Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV within the framework of a thermal model. This model can successfully reproduce the ratios of other hadrons produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC energy. The prediction are compared to recent data of the STAR experiment at RHIC, aiming to elucidate the production mechanism of hypernuclei and antihypernuclei in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. (author)
